Students protest Bush’s re-election

In more than 70 cities, 40 colleges and 75 high schools, people walked out of jobs and classes Wednesday to participate in "The World Can’t Wait: Drive Out The Bush Regime," a rally to fight the administration on the first anniversary of President George W. Bush's re-election.
At noon in Los Angeles, activists met up at almost every major downtown intersection that crosses with Wilshire Boulevard.
At these corners, people with megaphones shouted slogans at the oncoming traffic while sporting T-shirts with the words "Wanted for mass murder" over pictures of Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
USC was one of the many school groups that took part in the anti-Bush event.
"As college students and citizens, if you believe in the constitution and democracy you will do everything you can to stop America from becoming a fascist theocracy," said Tani Ikeda, a freshman majoring in cinema-television production who organized people from USC to take part in the downtown rally.
Ikeda said that she worries students are becoming apathetic to war images.
“Even the most progressive students have become numb to images of torture from Iraq and accepted that our government is lying to us, but this not acceptable," she said.
While one of the biggest issues raised at the rally was the “murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq," recent events in the administration have pushed its various supporters — including author Alice Walker and journalist and activist
Mumia Abu-Jamal — in the direction of this nationwide demonstration, according to the rally Web site.
Think about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, about women who want to have safe and legal abortions and about the Iraqi children who now live in prison camps wrapped in barbed wire, Ikeda said. This is why it is important to get out and express opinions, she said.
The rally calls for support from ali ages — even ones who may not be old enough to vote.
Fliers addressing high school students encouraged them to take a stand.
“You know what kind of world you want to live in, you know what is right and what cannot be tolerated; It is your time to make history." the fliers stated. “The administration and some teachers will try to stop you. Other teachers will support you. Fight and argue for what you know is right and don't be intimidated by I see ProtMt page 3 \

USC linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested on suspicion of battery Tuesday morning after an incident at a party on the 1600 block of 29th Street, said Officer Jason Lee, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Maualuga, 18, was booked at 4 a.m. after turning himself in to the Southwest police station. The victim signed a private person's arrest form,
Lee said.
The case has since been turned over to the city attorney.
“People do fight. I hope they don’t, but they do, especially when they had one too many drinks early in the morning," Lee said.
LAPD will not investigate further on this case. Detectives said only felonies, not misdemeanors, are assigned to an investigating officer.
Both the victim and the suspect will go to court to sort out the case,
Lee said.
USC coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that he was initially contacted by Michael Jackson, vice president of student affairs and enrollment services, to inform him that the incident had occurred.
Carroll said he had not learned any new information on the situation and has not heard anything from student affairs.
Football-wise, Carroll said a' punishment for Maualuga has been determined after a meeting between the coaches and a committee of players.
“This is a serious situation and we want to make jure it is very clear to Rey and to our players how careful they must be,” Carroll said.
“We have started what we are going to do,” he said. “As always, we keep this stuff in-house and that is what we are going to continue to do."
Maualuga, a backup linebacker, has been dropped on the team's depth chart for the time being, and was relegated to scout team duties in Tuesday and Wednesday's practices.
Carroll said Maualuga would dress against Stanford on Saturday, but declined to comment on whether he would play.
Carroll would not say if Maualuga would be suspended from the team.
“I’m not saying that phrase for you." he said.
